Turning a Slimline Pen - Beginner Project - Page 8

A brief pen gallery made up of various woods and acryics using 7mm kits, page 1

rounded body blanks for a heavier pen

Made from the slimline kit, this pen has rounded body blanks for a heavier pen. Ipe.

executive pen in secupira

Again from the slimline kit but using a larger body diameter. I often call this the executive pen from a time I was in a suit store and was told they now call their executive style suit what was once their "short and portly".

European in green and navy acrylic

This pen is turned from acrylic in what I now call a European style since the Cross Company objected to pen turners using their Mont Blanc™ name on this style of pen. They have trade marked the pen style and make a lovely pen so who can blame them? Whatever it is called, this is a great feeling pen.

European in Royal and Navy blues

Another of the European in Royal and Navy blues. These are interesting to turn and the acrylic adds a new dimension. I prefer to turn wood but other materials add their own challenges.

This is a slimline with a flared tip turned of red oak.

pearl acrylic with swirls of black

A slimline turned of pearl acrylic with swirls of black. When turning a pen like this the brass tubes need to be painted white to give the proper look to the pearl.
